Chelsea, Juve legend Vialli reveals the secrets behind Antonio Conte’s success
“Conte was destined to become a manager. He wasn’t a footballer only, he studied at university, he loves studying and goes into details about everything he does. He had amazing managers and mentors like Giovanni Trapattoni, Marcello Lippi and Carlo Ancelotti but he has his unique style.”
“Conte has understood that English football is different from Italian. One must correct it and not change it completely. The reorganization of the defence is the key to his success. Chelsea play an offensive football but they are also very organized at the back. Our tactical wisdom makes the difference in England. Conte can win the Premier League.”
“His experience at Juventus both as a footballer and as a manager has made the difference. The atmosphere at the club is unique. The bianconeri are a pragmatic club. Everybody at the club must work hard and a win comes more as a relief than pure joy. Every manager must be a leader creating more leaders with ideas, values and personality.”
It come as no surprise then that former Juventus players Antonio Conte, Massimo Carrera and Zinedine Zidane are the table leaders in England, Russia and Spain respectively, not to mention Juventus that have been winning the Serie A title for five successive seasons and are not on top of the Serie A table, seven points clear of Roma and Milan.
